Overlay text with masks in a dicomseg file

Hi 3D Slicer Community,

I was trying to implement a dicomseg file that can contain both segmentation masks and their corresponding texts. I can compute the exact location of all the texts. For instance, I have L1 and L2 segmented, and I want L1 and L2 to appear in front of each vertebra when I open the dicomseg file in mimics.

I have tried the overlay plane module, but it seems that the slicer does not support it. Do you have any suggestions for that?

I have attached what I want below. And I like this happens for every slice.

Thanks!

A dicom seg instance will not support specifying the text display in any standard way. I don’t know if anyone here has experience with mimics to know if there’s a kind of file you could generate to control that behavior.

Thanks for your prompt response. Thanks for the information that there is no standard way to embed text into the dicomseg file.

Can you please explain your workflow so that we know why you want text burnt into your image? This should not be necessary if you use the right tools in the right workflow.

Hi Csbar,

We are developing a model for our customers and their PACS (visage) can only view dicomseg so I want to embed this text into the dicomseg. So when they open the dicomseg file, they can see the texts.

Thanks!
